Wiki page for contextual inquiry meeting today

[Knoop, Peter]

Hi Daphne,

 

One thing that jumped out at me under your "factors to consider" was the
perhaps you might also want to consider the subject matter or content of
the course, if its not already part of one of the other factors you
list?  I'm thinking here about differences in needs between humanities
and science courses as an example.  For instance, a 300-person
introductory history course has much different needs from Sakai than a
300-person introductory oceanography course.  Even if the structure is
the same at a gross level (your class type/structure factor?) -- one
large section with all the students in it and dozens of smaller sections
to break the students up into manageable groups for activities -- what
goes on inside that structure is often very different, i.e., what you
would like to accomplish and facilitate in a discussion section is
generally not the same as in a laboratory section.  Such differences
will likely reach down to smaller class sizes as well.

Hi there,

 

Here's the link I mentioned to those of you on the planning call,
http://wiki.fluidproject.org/x/0xQa.

 

Please note it is a work in progress.  As I mentioned some of it may not
even make sense on its own yet.  We'll talk through it on the call. 

 

The goal of the meeting is to come up with a strategy to move the
contextual inquiries / needs assessment forward as quickly as possible
while continuing to move some of our other very important design work
forward.

 

We'll give breeze a try as Toronto's network issues seem to be better.
